::I added a file Male-anatomy.png, which is 128x128 pixels high.
::I added a user "Cica" and confirmed the registration, as requested per email. After that Cica can edit, successfully edited the article "Telephone tapping in the Eastern Bloc". That opens the way for spammers and trolls to do anything they want. Typically they register, write an introduction onto their user page, and disappear. I'd like to avoid this activity. Some of them use an obscene name, or name reminding other editors using cyrillic or greek letters to confuse other editors. And so on... Therefore I would prefer, if registration were disabled for new users, and only administrators could add new users. [[User:Fiala1|Fiala1]] ([[User talk:Fiala1|talk]]) 17:25, 30 December 2014 (GMT)
:::If we make the registration to only allow autoconfirmed/confirmed editors to edit, that means anyone can make an account, but you must grant them the confirmed/autoconfirmed flag (they grant the same rights either way) for them to make any edits at all. This will instantly deter any spam messages, but will still allow users to register. If you do this, the wiki can remain open to public view and you can still control who has editing rights, and the red exclamation points next to those without these flags will serve as a way to tell who is trusted to edit in recent changes. If you wish it to be private, we can set it to have the member flag, which would serve the same purpose. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 22:47, 30 December 2014 (GMT)
